In Hollywood, being typecast can be a double-edged sword. On one hand, it provides actors with steady work and a recognizable niche. On the other hand, it can limit their artistic range and opportunities for diverse roles. Here are twelve actors who have become synonymous with certain types of characters and rarely venture outside their genre.
Bruce Willis
Typecast Role: Action Hero
Bruce Willis is best known for his role as John McClane in the "Die Hard" series. His rugged persona and ability to portray the tough, wisecracking hero have made him a staple in the action genre. While Willis has attempted roles in comedy and drama, such as in "The Sixth Sense" (1999), his identity remains firmly rooted in action films like "Armageddon" (1998) and "Red" (2010).
